Description

Populate a tar/zip archive from directory contents. The optional second
parameter is a regular expression (pcre) that is used to exclude files.
Any filename that matches the regular expression will be included, all others will be
excluded. For more fine-grained control, use PharData::buildFromIterator().

Parameters

base_dir

The full or relative path to the directory that contains all files
to add to the archive.

regex

An optional pcre regular expression that is used to filter the
list of files. Only file paths matching the regular expression
will be included in the archive.

Return Values

Phar::buildFromDirectory() returns an associative array
mapping internal path of file to the full path of the file on the
filesystem.
